Pre-Match: The United States men’s national team gathers in Cary, NC for this international break to take on Paraguay in a one-off friendly. While we all know this summer’s World Cup will go on without the Stars and Stripes, these types of matches are a great chance to meet the next crop of talent that will be trying to right that massive wrong next cycle.

There are a plethora of young and exciting players to pay attention to in this camp. From European standouts such as PSG’s Tim Weah and Schalke’s Weston McKennie to domestic talent like Tyler Adams and Zack Steffen, there’s plenty to be excited about regarding the national team’s future.

This will be no easy test for the young American team. Yes, Paraguay also missed out on this summer’s World Cup, but they are a very talented side led by players like Atlanta United’s Miguel Almiron (Yes, I’m biased. Sue me.) and twin brothers Oscar and Angel Romero.

Who will take advantage of their chance and prove they are USMNT-worthy? It’s time to find out.
